Fall Colors

‘Autumn hibiscus’ by Jan Carroll

from Leafground

This is finally
caustic ground
pliant and unyielded
lush and acrid
generous and hateful
senuous and putrid
outside the
reality of dreams
comes in with an
anonymous law
barren of logic
rich with iniquity
its silence
vaquished
disremembered
corrupted by fetid truth
